So West Brom, Sheffield United, Burnley and Fulham go to the Premier League...

[FMBlade1]

West Brom: 'We're the worst team'

Sheffield United: 'No we're the worst team'

Burnley: 'We're more unattractive to have in the Premier League'

Fulham: 'Well our players are more big money drags'

Premier League:

Does anyone know if we lose our sense of humour as we get older?
I'm starting to worry.

I genuinely haven’t got a fuckin clue what your on about

I don't know whether it's grammatically right or wrong, it certainly sounds wrong.
My old teachers, infants and juniors wouldn't like it and Mr Humphries, English & English Lit. to GCE standard would have flourished much red ink on such an effort.
Looks bad enough written, but spoken much to-day, makes me cringe when heard on radio and t/v.
I suspect it's supposed to denote one is, trendy, with it, a person of the moment, etc. and bloody annoying to this old reprobate/fart, fill in your own adjective.

Anyway this always works better as, 'West Brom, Fulham and Sheff Utd walk into a bar...'
Punch lines anybody?

Please join my crusade to stop the use of ‘So’ as a sentence starter. If I hear someone say it I instantly want to harm them. Written is also pretty bad. It’s an Americanism that needs to stay American!

Bloody colonialists.
Calm down, Calm down,(in a Michael Winners way and, lord help me, not 'puddlian bent) physical retribution can lead to incarceration.
Will there be marches to seats of government on the crusade?

I’m not actually hard enough to harm anyone, I just talk a good game.

I’m reading a book about The Crusades at the moment, don’t think I’d fancy a proper one!

It's not an Americanism. 276 (approx) lines from Shakespeare's works start with 'so'.

Don't go to see Henry IV: part 2 as Shallow responds to Falstaff:
"So, so, so, so, so, so, so; yea, marry, sir: Ralph Mouldy!"

"So, again, good night" (Hamlet)

Different time though.

I'm not having it that the corporate tossers starting emails with 'So' and all the students starting their silly little conversations with 'So' are doing so because of their in depth studies of Shakespeare.

Its fucking annoying, seems trendy now ....
Makes me want to poke people's eyes out when they put an irrelevant/redundant So at the beginning of every sentence.
Its the same when some one says" can I get a Cheeseburger "
No you fucking can not get a Cheeseburger, you can have a Cheeseburger and I will get it for you !

I’m disappointed Mr Humphries didn’t manage to get you to understand the difference between a noun and an adjective

So is a perfectly legitimate word in its own right and has several different functions, including as a conjunction. However, a conjunction is not required as the start of an answer to a question, which is what irritates me and others judging by the posts on here.

Can I get a latte? No but you can have one.

Also annoying, I reckon that it came in around 10 years ago and again probably spawned from student dickheads who'd been on a gap year.

One quirk of language locally (I think it's a Rotherham thing but someone might tell me otherwise) is where people say "I've fetched this in today". Is anyone guilty of this?

And the Sheffield double “that”...... that were a foul that. Wtf?

It's like the Lancastrian "did you not?" at the end of a sentence. e.g. "Did you put the heating on did you not?". Not a clue.

West Brom says, "pint o' cider please, barman".

Fulham says, "I'll have your most expensive drink, I don't care what it is".

Sheffield United says, "I've got my eyes on that nice looking single-malt on the top shelf".

Aston Villa says, "I'll take that bottle of single-malt on the top shelf, mate. Here's 40 quid!"

Does my head in at work. Started with management and filtered down to the wannabes. It's usually 'Soooooooooooo...' and makes me want to punch them in the throat.

Don't get me started on 'Can I get'. FFS.

Splashing some red ink there yourself, rightly so.
I could say you fell into my ruse but sadly that would not be true and now you have so cruelly exposed my ineptitude to the world making it obvious, despite Mr Humphries efforts, I did fail both subjects. Smiley emoji
Almost put 'little' before ruse, another word much used out of context, particularly when the following word denotes a definite magnitude. Red faced angry emoji.
Written emojis as there is no facility on the heading bar.

You know the double negative “I don’t know nothing” means you know something?
Years ago I was walking down the Moor foot early one morning a couple were putting up their outside market stall and having a heated debate and she yelled at him as I passed by ”thy don’t know nowt abart nothin”. Now I recon that’s a triple negative so does it revert back to positive or as per the rules of maths stay negative?
